Shuttle XPC Tools (64 bit)

Durzel · 22 Feb 2021 at 16:03

Hi

I’ve just reformatted my little old Shuttle SG33G5M and put Windows 10 64 bit on it, and need to try and get XPC Tools from somewhere so I can control the VFD on the front.

Can’t find it anywhere and the Shuttle download links for it are 404

I think 1.7.3 was the last version?

Thanks in advance.

Is this it? - http://image.shuttle.com/ResourceCenter/download_file.jsp?file_id=11180

Taken from the alternative link listed here - https://download.shuttle.eu/Archive_2010/Barebone/SG33G5/SG33G5_readme.htm

The download itself works, but not sure if it's the right file.

EDIT - There is a VFD driver listed in the archive link too.

Will give that a blast, thanks.

I tried installing the 32 bit version but it didn’t want to work. It installed but wouldn’t start, complaining that it wasn’t installed properly or something.

To be honest if I could get something that could control the VFD in front, that would suffice I think.

Unfortunately this didn’t work, it was the 32 bit version that doesn’t run.

I think so, although I’ve not tested it fully. I think the VFD driver is for monitoring when Windows Media Centre (not even sure that’s a thing nowadays) is running, to shows media info.

I’ve reached out to Shuttle via email to see if they have a 64 bit copy of XPC Tools anywhere. Hopefully they’ll respond.

Thanks very much for your assistance. Have a great weekend

Good day there, i have the same model as the one you have. Just recently rebuild it and works beautifully. i upgraded the cpu, put in a GPU and maxed out the ram, but i bumped into some issues where my vfd display is not displaying anything other than "Home theater" is there an XPC tool for linux mint? as i don't run windows on that machine.
